Ok guys i need a bit of help... im doing math problems and i am either tired and my brain isnt working or confused as HECK! can some on please tell me the right answer and break it down fo rme please???

SO we have this problem...
We have 30bb stack in BB and face 16bb shove from HJ how much equity do you need to make a call profitable?

HJ range is as follows
22+,A2s+,K8s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,98s,87s,76s,A9o+,KTo+ ,QJo

Pot odds are as follows
Getting approximately 1.28-1

PLEASE SOME NE HELP ME LOL im sure the answer is very simple and i am just tired but my head is hurting and need some double checking.. thanks alot guys!

I am sure is around 43% i just need the break down please

1 / (1.28+1) = ~0.439

We're sitting in BB so 1bb + ante is already invested, so we have to call 15bb to win what's in the middle plus what we have to risk. Let's say 9-handed game played at 50/100 + 10. Then there's 50+100+9x10 = t240 and his jam of t1590 (he posted ante too) = t1830 in the middle. Now you have to call t1500 to win t1500+t1830: 1500 / (1500+1830) = ~0.45.

Formula is basically C / (C+P) with: C = CALL, P = POT.

This comes into play when figuring out which hands we can profitably call. You can use a simple equity calculator and figure out which hands have >= 0.45% equity vs his range to make a even/winning call. Against his 22.17% shoving range AA has 83.99% equity, 72o has 27.75%. So your correct calling range will be 44+,A5s+,A9o+,KTs+,KQo.

thank you i guess i was just tired and doing the equation backwards.. (c+p)/c is what i was doing and confusing the crap out of me.. thanks again

I'd highly recommend Holdem Viewer for this, as for a given range it will list all the hands in order of the equity they have against the submitted range.
